Vehicle Description
This 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS Tribute has that sleek and
commanding look we all love in a coupe built in the best of the
muscle car era. But beneath this skin, this classic is a true
restomod with fuel-injected V8 power, updated suspension, and an
overdrive transmission. So you get the style you love and an even
hardier heart.
The '71 Chevelle just seems like the right place to start for a car
that's going to be vintage but upgraded. After all, this has a huge
sense of timeless style with a sloping fastback silhouette that
shows off both a hint of flying buttress in the rear as well as the
desirable pillarless hardtop profile. There's arguably no better
color combo for a muscle car than red with black stripes painted on
top. That only gets better when this was an upgrade later in life,
and it continues to have the shine of a quality application. Good
sheetmetal, quality gaps, and mirror-like chrome bumpers all add to
this car's fundamental appeal. Plus, it has all the right sporty
style with the upgraded cowl hood, SS badging, wide dual exhaust
tips, and a set of American Racing Torq Thrust polished alloys.
Upgrading the interior to a classic black is another great move to
make sure this one shows off its muscle car appeal to the fullest.
More than just the right color, this is a nice place to spend some
time with insignia trim upholstery, taut door panels, and plush
carpeting. Not only do the two wide bench seats give family and
friends plenty of room to spread out, but also there's an upgraded
AM/FM/CD stereo to keep them all happy. Of course, a car like this
is built to be great even when you're going solo, too. That's why
you have great upgrades like the classic Chevy sports steering
wheel, and it's mounted on a tilt column to give you a clear view
to the sporty round gauge package. And the best driver-oriented
upgrade comes with you open the hood.
You'll love showing off the engine bay, because this one know how
to showcase its modern 6.0-liter LS V8. It's a tidy and
well-integrated setup, and there are even some fun details, like
the aluminum panels used to simulate classic valve covers. This
fuel-injected powerhouse was borrowed from GM's truck program. So
it's a stout and powerful setup. It's mated to the correct
four-speed automatic transmission, which provides you with the
right balance of strength and overdrive comfort. The undercarriage
photos show off fresher components as well as a strong 12-bolt rear
and sway bars front and rear. Plus, you have power steering, power
brakes with front discs, and the grip of modern ZR-rated tires
afforded by the wheel upgrade.
This SS tribute has the classic muscle car look you love, and the
smoother modern powerhouse makes it even easier to enjoy it of near
or far. That's the beauty of a well-done restomod, and it can all
be yours if you call today!
